How to Remove Skype for Business
Skype for Business currently installs as a packaged product with Microsoft 365 Business Professional desktop apps. The installation does not install Teams as a part of the Microsoft 365 Business Professional desktop apps. Additionally, Skype for Business has its own installation which is separate from Microsoft 365 Business Professional desktop apps installation. Windows OS: 11 Pro w/ Windows updates. Issues: Users are unable to remove Skype for Business from their desktop by clicking “Uninstall” located on the Windows Start menu. Teams upgrade requires Skype for Business settings to be set manually via the Teams Admin Center. Using the PowerShell command: uninstall-package 'Microsoft Skype for Business MUI (English) 2016' to remove Skype for Business requires NuGet to be manually installed prior to performing a removal task or does not remove the application at all. The odd thing about this is that the system recognizes that a 2016 edition of Skype for Business exists. Note: Microsoft Word reads with the following version number: Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2508 Build 16.0.19127.20082) 64-bit Granting and then revoking API permissions via Entra Admin center does not separate Skype for Business from the Microsoft 365 Business Professional installation. Uninstalling Microsoft 365 Business Professional desktop apps only removes the Skype for Business app temporarily until reinstallation occurs.
Teams Room "Cannot Fetch Calendar"
Good day, I have just finished setting up our Lenovo ThinkSmart Hub500. Creating the room and users account as per MS instructions is all done and Teams Room is logged in. I can start a new meeting and project but no meetings are showing up. At the top it says "Cannot Fetch Calendar". What are we doing wrong? Thanks.MFA issue when moving users
H All. I'm having a real issue with MFA when it comes to moving a clients users from On-Premise to Online. The admin account i am using is MFA enabled and this cannot be disabled. I am getting really frustrated with having to authorize the login for the account every time ( or so it seems ) a user is moved. I am using a csv file so importing and then running the Move-csuser command in powershell. Is there a single command to stop this from happening or to force O365 to accept the fist time authorization...WAP as reverse proxy for SFB 2019 without ADFS

Skype for Business Server 2015 - Web App Error
Hello, The following diagram is essentially the design of our SfB 2015 deployment. The only major difference is that FE 2 is at a field site connected to the head office via an IPSEC VPN. Is connection to the HTTP RP, the Edge and the FE 1 server is across that VPN. We have a user that resides on FE Server 2. When he send out meeting requests to external (to the organization) users and they try to connect to the meeting using the Web App, we get the following error. I have tried to validate that everything from the external web proxy is correct and as far as I can tell it is. I have already run the installer on the FE hoping that would solve the issue but not a chance. At this point I am not sure where to turn. Any users that are on FE1 that do the same thing, that process works 100%. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks Dale

Broadcast Meeting requires Basic version but machine won't release/downgrade from SFB 2016
We have an urgent need to use Skype Broadcast Meetings and during testing, we get an error indicating the "version of Skype" cannot be used with Broadcast. Research shows we need to use "Skype for Business Basic 2016" - great, no problem, right? BTW, Windows 10 version 1909 and we keep things well patched. We have O365 Licenses and both Teams and Skype for Business 2016 was previously loaded on this computer. Also Office Professional 2013 and 2016 were previously loaded. I have uninstalled EVERYTHING related to Office, Teams and Skype on this computer. I go into the portal and select "Skype for Business Basic" and install it; however, the application that loads when we open the Broadcast link, continues to be "Skype for Business 2016" and continues to be the "not supported" version for Broadcast. I have downloaded the "retail" free version, same result. I have downloaded from a MS article link, same result. I have tried using both the 64 bit and 32 bit versions (from both places), same result. It is like the machine is possessed! The control panel programs shows that it is "Skype for Business Basic 2016" but every time what opens is the non-functional "Skype for Business 2016" app. Despite numerous uninstalls and restarts, it refuses to leave the "Basic" version with the required functionality. I found a "lync" app profile and deleted it, same result. I found app data folders labeled "skype" and deleted those, same result. I am at my wits end and need this functional ASAP.... Can anyone explain this? What can I do to get the supported version on this computer??? I submitted a support ticket online for help over 6 hours ago and have yet to get a response from Microsoft. I am hoping someone out there can provide a clue or have an answer sooner than that 🙂 I posted in the "answers" community and was referred here. Thanks for your help!Yealink t55 skype config
Hi All. I hope someone can assist. A client has bought T55's for use with Skype but their calendars are apparently 1 day behind. the phones have had the latest firmware installed and all config seems ok. Calls are flowing without issue. Does anyone have any experience with these devices or can anyone make any suggestions that may have an effect in this instance. NTP has been checked on the device GUI.
